Decent windows support via Tortoise and no need to learn a new system. Plus
no need to revamp the whole setup, which is always a bigger pain than one
plans for. The problems with the current system seem to be ticket tracking
and branches. I think the first thing to do is take a look at what sage is
doing and see if we can't refurbish our current system to make it more
useable.
